How to Manage Icinga with Ansible Webinar
Managing monitoring environments shouldn’t be a manual chore. In this hands-on webinar, we show you how to fully automate your Icinga infrastructure using the Ansible Collection for Icinga.
We take you step by step through everything from installing Icinga 2 to configuring master instances, setting up monitoring agents, building core objects, and integrating common components like Icinga Web, all driven by Ansible.
This webinar was held on March 17, 2026 and is presented in collaboration with NETWAYS, the creators and maintainers of the Ansible roles used to manage Icinga.
In this session, we cover:
- How to use Ansible to install and operate core Icinga components
- Structuring and automating Icinga configurations in a reproducible way
- Managing distributed monitoring setups and agents with Ansible
- Automating common operational tasks across Linux and Windows systems
- Integrating Ansible with existing Icinga workflows and tools
- Practical automation patterns you can adapt to your own environments
- Interactive Q&A session
Whether you’re deploying new environments or scaling existing setups, this session will equip you with practical, reusable automation patterns that save time and reduce configuration drift.
